Orion Pictures

The players: Kevin Costner as the minor-league lifer Crash, Susan Sarandon as baseball groupie Annie and Tim Robbins as the next big thing, Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh. How it changed the game: No more Mr. Nice Guys here. "Bull Durham" showed a crueler side of the sport by focusing on the very un-romantic minor leagues.
